WHY THE WORLD IS POORER THAN WE THINK

This year her Ph.D Dissertation was awarded by Norges Bank as number one in the field of macroeconomics, and her article “International Income Inequality: Measuring PPP Bias by Estimating Engel Curves for Food” is to be published in the prestigious American Economic review.
